The Official Gazette of Galicia (DOG) today published the resolution for reduced working hours aid, an initiative aimed at promoting reconciliation and co-responsibility. A total of 320 people have benefited from these grants, with more than 70% being men.
The Galician government has invested nearly €620,000 in these grants, designed to encourage a greater number of men to modify their working hours for childcare. The aid amounts range between €1,700 and €3,700, depending on the percentage of working hours reduced and the number of children in care.
This resolution consolidates the trend from previous years, with a majority of male beneficiaries, totaling 226 applications. Women, on the other hand, received 94 of the granted aids, often corresponding to single-parent families or family units composed of two people of the same sex.
